Words will never mend my thoughts and feelings when you left. I love you so much and miss our chats and doing things together. When I’m not sure how to tackle a job, I think, ‘how would John do this? Most times, I get it right, albeit a bit slower than you , We had a fantastic life together - always busy, new adventures and challenges, learning new skills. You will always be with my love no matter where I am or what I’m doing. Forever in my heart and mind. Susie. Xxxxx

Sea-Fever BY JOHN MASEFIELD I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
